Hetzner Security

Firewalls

Hetzner’s cloud firewalls handle stateful filtering directly on your infrastructure, letting you define specific inbound and outbound rules for individual servers or grouped by labels. This setup provides granular control over network traffic without requiring external appliances, keeping security policies tightly integrated with your existing compute resources.

These firewalls suit teams already operating within Hetzner’s ecosystem who need straightforward, per-server security controls. The main catch is the lack of a free tier; while the feature itself doesn’t have a separate license cost, it operates on a strict pay-as-you-go model, meaning you only pay for the underlying resources you consume rather than a bundled security package.
